Bring on the Whimsical Creatures

Day Two at Artfest: Myth and Mystery, taught by Karen O'Brien. It was a day of collage, paint, and images - layering, discovering, revealing. Here's the creation process in photos:

At the end of the day, Howard and I had another delicious meal in Port Townsend, this time at one of the local Thai restaurants. Then, it was off to Fort Worden for Artfest's Vendor Night. Howard bought three pieces of art from Mary Beth Shaw, the woman I'll be taking a class from on Saturday! Here's Howard and Mary Beth.

We ran into Diane Havnen-Smith while we roamed around and Diane was kind enough to show Howard some of her great post card art.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and seeing all your photos here just brings it all back. What fun! And isn't Lynn Parella just a sweet heart?I'm off to make some art right now.I'm wondering how to make my sleepy east coast fishing village a little more artful and BRAVE!!!Thanks again,Lani

About Me

I am a woman trying to navigate being 50-something, to not dwell too much on getting older, and reminding myself constantly to live in the moment. I am a woman who loves books, reading, and used bookstores (especially Powell's in downtown Portland). I am a woman who is discovering art after years of raising kids, working, and going to school. I am a woman who loves collage, painting, mixed media, and assemblage. I am a woman who loves gunkholing in junk stores and picking trash up off the street just for the thrill of its possibilities. I am a woman who has a mantra to BE BOLD.
